The reason most likely is that nobody needed it, yet. I also don't see
the need right now:

      * resources are handled as zvals, thos can be passed by
        zend_update_property(). The other are just wrappers creating the
        zval first.
      * Usage of resources is discouraged, instead of a resource use an
        object (extend zend_object to store pointers etc.)

The typical case that a developer who has a need creates a patch and
depending on impact and the developer's brevity pushes it, sends it to
the ist or creates an RFC. Developers without karma can only do the
later (or now somebody with karma)

Edge case. By strict rules yes, but there are enough previous examples
where we added APIs. Depends on brevity and need as above ;-)
